Mark Zuckerberg's annual base salary from Facebook, now Meta, is $1. He has chosen this symbolic salary while receiving no bonus or equity award as part of his regular executive compensation.
The arrangement reflects Zuckerberg’s enormous ownership stake in the company rather than an ordinary executive pay package. Most of his wealth comes from the value of his Meta shares, so his salary is not a meaningful measure of his overall income or financial position.
A common mix-up is confusing salary with total compensation. Meta’s corporate filings have reported millions of dollars in total annual compensation for Zuckerberg, largely because the company pays substantial costs for personal security and private-aircraft use. Those expenses are separate from his $1 salary.
